Appeal No. 1996-3281
Application 07/895,467
We have made no determination as to the patentability of
claims dependent from claims 1, 16 and 33 on the above recited
grounds.
The Examiner’s decision rejecting claims 1 through 10, 16
through 25 and 31 through 33 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is
reversed. A new ground of rejection of claims 1, 16 and 33
under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is entered under 37 CFR § 1.196(b).
Any request for reconsideration or modification of this
decision by the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences
based upon the same record must be filed within one month from
the date hereof (37 CFR § 1.197).
With respect to the new rejection under 37 CFR §
1.196(b), should Appellant elect the alternate option under
that rule to prosecute further before the Primary Examiner by
way of amendment or showing of facts, or both, not previously
of record, a shortened statutory period for making such
response is hereby set to expire two months from the date of
this decision.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
11
